Whitehead v. Vineyard

The plaintiff brings ejectment, and claims title through Thos. Allen, who held the property as having belonged to the Iron Mountain Bailroad Company. It is not disputed that the plaintiff established his right to the land, provided the railroad company had a right to purchase and hold the same, and provided it was included in the lien held by the State upon its property, and sold to said Allen when the State sold out the road. The-District Court, in reversing the judgment of the Circuit Court, held the affirmation of these propositions, and they are the only questions presented for our review.
